About Android Announcer Maico 2010

Looking for background on Android Announcer Maico 2010 (アンドロイド・アナ MAICO ２０１０)? This comedy and sci-fi series by Group TAC and Animate Film (1998) starts out like this. At its core: In the year 2010, the Japanese radio industry is in decline. To reverse their flagging ratings, a station staffed with perennial losers makes a daring gamble: to hire the industry's first android on-air host.

Next up: Maico is cute, but it will take more than novelty to win over the fickle audience -- especially with a crew as inept as this one.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Maico (Sakura Tange) and Akira Tenpoin (Akira Ishida) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
